I’ve featured two brands from New Zealand on my site in the form of Lighthouse gin and Broken Shed vodka, but now there’s a great accompaniment in the mixer category in the form of Quina-Fina. Quina Fina can take its inspiration from the history of tonic water. You may or may not know, but tonicContinue reading “Quina-Fina Tasting Notes”

Bowmore
Bowmore is a brand that is well-known to not only the whisky enthusiasts of the world, but recognisable to even the most amateur of whisky drinkers. It’s location on an island that holds no fewer than eight distilleries means that it has to produce the best it can on a constant basis. And I thinkContinue reading “Bowmore”
Auchentoshan Tasting Notes
Auchentoshan is unique within the Scottish whisky world for one reason, it is triple distilled. That may not mean a lot to you, but with every other Scottish whisky only twice distilled, and triple distillation found more commonly within the Irish whisky production, it puts Auchentoshan under its own sub-category. It’s probably why then whyContinue reading “Auchentoshan Tasting Notes”
Finlandia
Finland is known for building some of the worlds biggest cruise ships, phone giants Nokia and a vodka that has a presence in many a bar – Finlandia. But how did this rather well-know vodka come about? Compared to other rivals, it’s a rather secretive brand, and not one that many know a fact orContinue reading “Finlandia”

Syrups aren’t the most well advertised when it comes to the use of them within a bar. But the thing is, they should be, because they could make or break a drink, and indeed your experience within that bar. So with this in mind, it makes sense to showcase a brand that have got someContinue reading “Blossom Syrups”

Since I started Drinks Enthusiast, my love of tequila has grown. Being able to try many a different brand and different styles, I’ve come to appreciate them more as I look into their history and methods. One brand in particular though I’ve been chasing for a while. For over a year I’ve been told byContinue reading “Siete Leguas”

The following is the latest press release from them detailing their latest achievements – Jax Coco is excited to announce their recent listings in multiple London venues.

Sprizzato Tasting Notes
It might be the end of summer (well it rains a fair bit where I live so I think that’s the last I’ll see of it), but that doesn’t mean summer trends should finish there. The good thing about a good spirit is its versatility to be present no matter what the seasons. Take SprizzatoContinue reading “Sprizzato Tasting Notes”
Magic Moments Tasting Notes
India is a growing country. Not one where you’d expect spirits to originate from, or be the fore runner in sales. But hold on though, India is one of the biggest consumers of whisky, and at the end of calendar 2012, McDowell’s No. 1 from Vijay Mallya’s United Spirits Ltd overtook Johnnie Walker to becomeContinue reading “Magic Moments Tasting Notes”
